Snow 'Person' Challenge - SA02

My first challenge of the New Year! I am fairly new to participating in challenges, I just never seem to get to them before the deadline. And then the New Years Resolution comes into play and here I am...

My friend Lorie is hosting a challenge over on the Stamping Around blog on behalf of Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps. "Use a snow(wo)man on your creation." I sent her a quick message to ask if my snow person had to, in fact, be human. She said as long as it is snow, anything goes. So here is my take on the challenge.

In honor of the two critters that we adopted in November, a snow kitty! Although I am happy with most elements of this card, I still think it needs a little something. I have until the 12th to fulfill this challenge, so if you have any ideas to spice up this little guy, feel free to leave a comment below! In fact feel free to leave a comment even if you do not have any ideas



I have not quite gotten the knack of these side photos, but wanted you to see the dimension between the Cuttlebug embossed layer and the cat, plus the liquid applique snow...


Thanks for looking and thanks, Lorie for hooking me up with this challenge

Spring Fever (But Not in a Good Way)

What's this?! A second post in ONE DAY? Don't think it will become a habit, but I found this challenge from following Miss Sandra's card and could not resist.


The lighting here is not the best, but when I held the dp up to the photo of the pillows on my monitor, the colors really were the same...

Poor Riley has Spring Fever, but not in a good way. His thermometer is almost completely red; I don't think he will be getting out of bed for quite some time. Fortunately, someone has made him a bowl of chicken soup (charm courtesy of Hanna Stamps) and has fluffed his pillows and tucked him in with his lovely matching sheets.

Designer paper is from SU, as is the 'Certainly Celery' cardstock. The white is PTI; and what isn't paper pieced is colored with Prismacolor Markers

The layout is from SCS Sketch Challenge 02, but my main focus was, of course, the Hanna Stamps Challenge mentioned above
